In “Harp Concertos”
“Harp concertos are perhaps a niche market, but Elizabeth Hainen’s performances merit wider attention. Judiciously accompanied by the Bulgarian orchestra, she plays a graceful G minor concerto by Elias Parish Alvars, a 19th-century scion of Teignmouth in Devon. The tonal range of Hainen’s playing, coupled with her technical finesse and sense of style, bring allure to the entire disc.”
